Knicks vs. Lakers prediction: NBA odds, pick, best bet for Monday
The Knicks continue their brutal West Coast swing Monday night in Los Angeles and face the Lakers with hopes of splitting the four-game NBA trip.
New York has dropped two of the first three games, capped off by a 144-122 loss to the Clippers on Saturday.
The Knicks allowed 77 first-half points as Los Angeles shot 57 percent from the floor and drilled 16 three-pointers in the win.
It was the second night of a back-to-back for the Knicks, who were coming off an impressive 17-point win at Phoenix in which Jalen Brunson scored a career-high 50 points.
He became the first player in Knicks history to score 50-plus points while making nine three-pointers.
Meanwhile, the Lakers are back home after an embarrassing loss at San Antonio on Friday. The Spurs, who broke an 18-game losing streak, entered the game as 7.5-point underdogs.

(10 p.m. ET, MSG)
The Lakers played without Anthony Davis (hip) and DAngelo Russell (migraine), who are both listed as questionable for Monday’s game.
Los Angeles went 1-2 straight up and 0-3 against the spread on its three-game Texas road trip following its championship in the NBA’s inaugural In-Season Tournament.

New York has won eight of 10 games this season coming off a loss, so the Knicks have done a good job of bouncing back.
Plus, they have been hot from beyond the arc of late, an area the Lakers have had trouble defending.
